Title: Fossil tree at my Van Gogh digs
Post by: Itsandbits on July 10, 2017, 07:47:43 PM
One of hundreds of trees buried 60+ mya, under about 300ft. of pyroclastic flow, basalt low, underwater slides, silt layers, ash fall layers, and what not. A lot are knocked down but this one stood for thousands to ??? hundreds of thousands of years preserved under water as it was buried by silt flows and underwater landslides. Large pieces litter the steep slope below as it erodes from where it was buried for so long

Not showing for me either.  Did you reduce the size per forum guidelines?

Couldn't tell if you are posting images to a google site?  Not sure if maybe your browser has your login info cached and that's why you see the image and we don't ..   Very Wild Guess and probably not it but you never know - just thought I would throw out the idea of cached credientials.

That is one big tree! Is the pet wood any good for lapidary?

I posted a link just above the picture that should take you to it; still trying to figure out what the site will accept; sorry

Where are your images hosted?  There should be a link you can copy and past into your post so your pictures show up.

That tree is enormous! Amazing.

I'm not sure what the deal is with google photos. I am signed in to my google profile account whatever and can't see them either. I use google photos to sync off my phone, but I always have to download them and upload them elsewhere if I want to embed them in a post someplace.

I know, it's weird, they were working well for a year or so

hubby and i went to Nova Scotia a few years ago.  at Joggers Cliff if your walking along the beach all these fossils were just laying on the beach and on the cliff face you can still see petrified logs ready to fall out.  it was amazing.  this site is a Word Heritage Site -UNISCO - (spelling is wrong), no picking whatsoever, damn :Bash: this wonderful place is what your petrified tree reminded me of.
